LETTER FROM ROCK HILL.

Rock HILL, June 14.-Last Wednesday
and Thursday were the warmeSt days we
have experienced this SUMNER; but on
Friday, Saturday and Sunday, the temper
allure changed considerably, and blankets
and fires were comfortable. A nice rain
visited this section on Thursday night, &C.
companied with some hail, but no damage
was done.
During a thunder storm on Friday after
noon, a colored girl, about - years of age,
living on the plantation of Mr.. Peter Gar
rison, in Ebenezer township, was killed by
lightning. She, with two other children,
had taken shelter under a tree from the
storm. A bolt of lightning struck the
tree, killing the girl and severely shocking
the other children. Strange to say, the
child that was killed was farther from the
tree than either of the others. Trial JUS
tice Wilborn was called upon to hold an
inquest, but under the circumstances he
did not think it necessary to put the coun-
ty to the expense.
\On last Wednesday, but for a timely dis
,covery, the handsome residence of w: l..
Roddey would have been laid in ashes,
and under rather peculiar circumstances.
Mr.. Roddey having had the floor OF the
hall oiled and rubbed with cotton n
cloth, some of the cotton was left on the
first floor, and was discovered to be very
warm. 1t was thrown in the yard, in the
sunlight, and soon it was discovered to be
in a blaze. One of the family going to the
second story, on which the floor had been
similarly oiled, discovered a bunch OF cot
ton on fire. In this connection l will say
that insurance statistics show that a large

with the previous survey. The difficulty OF Sc
curing desirable line through a town without
entailing serious damage and great inconyen-
fence to owners of property will be readily ap-
preciated, and in their efforts to accommodate
all parties the engineers in charge deserve
commentator. The line was perfected by
Mr.. Power, in charge Of this residency, and
Mr.. Mostly, in charge of the Ebenezer resi-
dency, and those concerned bear testimony to
their accommodating disposition and desire
to perform their duties satisfactory to all par
ties.
AS located, the Charleston, Cincinnati and
Chicago will cross the Chester and Lenoir
about one-half of a mile south Of the depot
of the latter, on a sub-grade % feet under the
track Of the Chester and Lenoir. On Mr..
Latta's land there will be some heavy work,
there being one cut of q feet and a fill of 30
feet.
Messrs. Griffin & Gorton have now been at
work on their contract a week, and being
thoroughly practical men, and provided with
all modern appliances, they have already made
much progress. For the masonry on this part
of the work, Mr.. Griffin has opened a quarry
on the lands of Rev. l.. A. Johnson.
Mr.. G.. G.. Parish has taken the contract for
clearing the right of way on the work Of Grit
fin & Gorton and Smith e. Lathrop, ten miles
in extent. He now has a force of hands at
work under direction of Mr.. A. F. Mcconnell.
Mr.. Ross is now working on this side Of
Fishing Creek.
Capt. Lewis will placing some Of
the timbers of the trestle over the creek this
week.
The Lancaster Ledger says: The trestle over
Sanders Creek, six miles this side Of Cam
den is finished, and a part Of the force Of Capt.
Streeter has commenced work on the trestle
over Hanging Rock Creek. There are only
four more ~trestles to build between Lancaster
and Camden.
Of the progress of the survey of the Georgia
and Carolina Midland, the Newberry Observer
says:
Mr.. Wm.C G. Whitner, who has been appoint
ed by Chief Engineer Matson, engineer for the
Three C's, between Newberry and Blacks, has
been in town since Monday organizing his
corps and awaiting some surveying implements
that had been ordered. He began Tuesday
afternoon a preliminary survey from Newberry
toward Union.

McConnellsville moved to Palatka, Fla, a
few months ago: While his business pros
poets were good, the climate did not suit
him. In consequence of an hemorrhage
from the lungs, attributed to the damp
ness of the air, he has been compelled to
return to South Carolina, and is now visit
ing one of our citizens, Mr.. 3. M. Spratt.
If his health improves he may return to
Florida next winter, but in. all probability
will remain in his native State. His
friends entertain this hope, for he is too
good a man for US to lose.
Capt. F. H. Barber, President of the
Fishing Creek Manufacturing Company,
was in town on last Thursday. He re-
ported some trouble with his employees in
consequence of their uniting with the
knights of Labor. He gave notice the
week previous to those who continued
their membership with this organization
that he had no farther use for them. On
Monday, about forty failed to report for
duty, as they were unwilling to leave the
knights. While here on Tuesday, Captain
Barber took the necessary legal steps to
secure possession of the houses occupied
by these .%nployees. AS far as his mill
is concerne |, he proposes to run 1t with
out the help of knights OF Labor, or not
run it at all.

by the first Legislature chosen under the
Constitution framed by the Convention,
which Gen. Candy assembled in Raleigh,
February IA, 1868. The decision of Judge
Bond, just made at Raleigh, holds that the
agents of the State must collect taxes to
the amount of one-eighth of l per cent, OF
all property in the State to meet the inter-
est on the bonds in question, as required
by the law authorizing their issue. 1t has
been held hitherto that the State, under
the Federal Constitution, could not be sued
by citizens of othefStates. This difficulty
has been evaded by Morton, Bliss & Co., OF
New York, by getting a citizen of North
Carolina to bring suit in their interest: 1t
is now in order to compel the State to levy
a tax. What if it should not?

Sunday night, at half past s, fire was
discovered under the steps of the chapel OF
the Episcopal church used by the colored
people. The fire was soon eXtinguished.
Two negro boys, Cooper Berry, aged II
years, and Monroe Rawlinson, aged 13,
were seen lurking around the chapel just
before the fire was discovered. Suspicion
fell upon them and they were arrested.
While under arrest they admitted that
they had set fire to the chapel, one holding
a brick while the other struck a match
upon it. A large pile of shavings had
been placed under the steps, and but for
the timely discovery the chapel would
have been destroyed.
